How to crop an image
- Drop your image into the box above, or click to browse.
- Pick a shape — free-form, a fixed ratio like 1:1 or 16:9, or a Circle.
- Frame the part you want to keep, then click Crop. Download it, or crop another image.
A live readout shows the exact output size in pixels as you adjust, so you always know what you're about to get.
The right controls for your device
Cropping by finger and cropping by mouse are different jobs, so the tool adapts to whichever you're on:
- On desktop you get a resizable box with handles on the corners and edges. Drag a handle to resize, drag the middle to move it, or type an exact width and height in pixels — the box and the numbers stay in sync both ways.
- On a phonethe image sits behind a fixed frame: drag to position it and pinch to zoom in. It's the same gesture you already use in your camera roll, which beats poking tiny handles with a fingertip.
Why crop in your browser?
Everything runs on your own device. Your image is never uploaded, so nothing is stored or seen by anyone — and because the crop is read from the original file, you keep full resolution rather than a downscaled screen copy. No account, no watermark, no limits.
Cropping vs resizing
They're easy to mix up. Cropping removes parts of an image to change its shape or focus — you keep a piece of the original at full quality. Resizingscales the whole image to new dimensions. Reach for crop to reframe or change the ratio; reach for resize to hit an exact pixel size. Often you'll crop first, then resize the result.
Shapes you can crop to
- Free-form — any rectangle you like (desktop).
- Fixed ratios — 1:1, 4:3, 16:9, 9:16 and more, for social and screens.
- Circle — a round crop with a transparent background, saved as PNG.

Frequently asked questions
- Does cropping reduce image quality?
- No. Cropping only trims away the parts you don't want — the pixels you keep are untouched. The result comes straight from your original image at full resolution.
- Is the cropped image full resolution?
- Yes. The crop is taken from the original image's pixels, not from the smaller preview on screen. A crop on your phone still produces the full resolution of the source.
- Can I crop an image into a circle?
- Yes. Choose the Circle shape and the corners become transparent. The result is saved as a PNG so the transparency is kept — ideal for round profile pictures and logos.
- Can I enter exact pixel dimensions?
- On desktop, yes — type the width and height in pixels and the crop box snaps to match, and dragging the handles updates the numbers live. On a phone you frame the crop by pinching to zoom.
- Are my images uploaded anywhere?
- No. Cropping happens entirely in your browser. Your images are never uploaded, so nothing is stored or seen by us.
- Does it work on my phone?
- Yes. On a touch device the cropper switches to a drag-and-pinch view — drag to position the image inside the frame and pinch to zoom — the way you'd crop in your photo app.
